"It's important when adopting a pet to consider your children. Hi, I'm Nancy with the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch. Children need to, should, children should go along for the adoption so that they know the animal as well as you do. And the animal feels comfortable around them and the children feel comfortable around them. They also need to be old enough to know the rules about owning a pet. About no biting, or kicking or pulling tails and things like that. It's very important. When adopting a dog, it's very important for the parents to play close attention to the children and the dog, to see how they're interacting.I'm Nancy with the Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch."
